Thailand sent four hundred troops to the border; Cambodia eight hundred. All of them sat in the Shiva temple, singing Om jaya Jagadiśa hare, Swāmi jaya Jagadiśa hare. The Cambodians and Thais again did something which is popular in the subcontinent – talks. The talks, like all other talks, failed, but produced something priceless.
